“After Montreal trip blocked, Rima Hassan arrested in France over social media post”
I’ve changed the title.
Thank you!
not a great rule considering how much clickbait even reputable news outlets engage in these days… can see it a bit even in this one…
The knife cuts both ways, in this case the post title is ragebait
the post title is ragebait
Seems like the events are rage bait
Both good points
You as a poster should find a more reliable source then, than shitty articles with clickbait titles.
And you are free to downvote/skip/block other’s clickbait titled posts.
not really a solution when most of the news media engages in it and it’s not abour reliability per se, just about ambigous titles designed to make people click.
5 hours later. How much time we talking?
I generally give at least 8 hours because people need to, you know, sleep and work and stuff. OP fixed it at 8 hours.
This politician is a tankie nutjob who happens to be a pro-palestinian activist.
She voted against every single EU resolution condemning Russia’s war on Ukraine.
She shared on social media a picture of a politician with this message :
“He is a friend of genociders. He sleeps well at night. That will not last long”
Then he received this message :
“I see your scared eyes in the halls of the European Parliament. You should be afraid. It’s just the beginning”
He ended up going to the police.
More recently, the French writer Boualem Sansal was jailed on bullshit charges in Algeria.
He did not have a fair trial. He didn’t even get access to a lawyer.
The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to condemn his arrest and demand his release.
Rima Hassan was one of the only MEPs to vote against this resolution 🤦
One week ago, the EU Parliament issued a warning against her:
The President had decided to impose a penalty on Rima Hassan for having recorded during a plenary session a Member of the European Parliament without his consent, and having subsequently disseminated the video on her social media accounts, accompanied by a personal comment.
Her behaviour had harmed Parliament’s reputation and the principle of mutual respect among Members.

She was denied a visa to Canada after she was asked two questions
-
Did any country ever deny you a visa? (Yes)
-
Did you ever face lawsuits? (Yes)
Instead of answering the truth, she answered “No” to both questions.
In an online post, she argued she did that because “I think these questions aren’t legitimate”.
That was a major mistake
Immigration Canada really doesn’t give a shit about what you think.
You should never lie on a federal immigration form. That’s called misrepresentation. Any foreigner who engages in misrepresentation will face denial of entry into Canada (Article 40, Canadian Law on Immigration).
When Immigration Canada discovered this, her visitor visa was automatically cancelled.
Any chance you can provide a source on that? It sounds believable, but it’s not mentioned in the article OP posted, and I can’t find anything else that confirms it. All reporting I’ve read says that CBSA refused to comment (as expected, since it concerns private information).
People like her that being self righteous assholes makes them exempt from the law.
Israel isn’t a country
-
She crossed a line praising the Lod massacre perpetrators. It was not an attack on the IDF, it was an indiscriminate attack on random people in an airport.
That said, we live in an era where criminal and genocidal language is spewed by the leaders of Israel, the US, and other countries. If only the same high standards were applied to them too.
She’s praised the perpetrators? When? Can you link it?

Oof
It’s strange how this article mentions she is pro-palestiniens and forgot to mention she is from Palestinian decent. Overall this article doesn’t provide much information about what has happened and why. Which tweet were used to accuse her ?
glorifying terrorism
She was supporting the Israelis?
French here, I think the information is confirmed. A weird campain is led against this woman, and at that point I’d call it harrassment, especially after the far right ambush set-up that led to the even weirder death of a young neo-nazi militant (the local intelligence had been following them, the police was present and they let the fight happen…), which was blamed on her conference being held nearby.
The Nemesis collective was linked to it as a planner of said ambush that went haywire. That femonationalist collective was endorsed by a former right-wing minister of national security.
I really think it’s a sordid campain to undermine any french voice that would talk about the genocide in Gaza.
How is it a campaign when it’s her own words and actions that got her in trouble?
Because of the repetitive pattern of sham/shallow accusations which goal is only to give the collaborationist media more material for constant defamation (on her, but also on every leftist voice speaking against the genocide in Gaza and such, which is immediately tagged as “antisemitism” for easy silencing -it’s a globally used strategy, so nothing unfamiliar here, you’ve probably seen it used against many people who are raising their voice against Israel’s crimes against humanity, or their current expansion war -which they roped the USA into). For instance, she has been summoned by the police for her deleted tweet, and they “found” drugs in her purse, except 1- I won’t believe a person summoned to an appointment with the police can be stupid enough to BRING DRUGS in their purse (it was later denied by her lawyer anyway). 2- The info was leaked to collaborationist medias DURING the police custody, which is supposedly both impossible and illegal UNLESS the police themselves leaked something for the medias to gnaw on. And it’s always like that. As for the tweet that got her in “trouble”, it was okay according to international laws (relative to the right of an occupied/subjected to apartheid nation to bear arms to resist the occupant). So, yeah, in France, the collusion of the ultra-rich and far-right media is established, so much so that most people don’t even listen to them anymore. Whatever the country you’re from, the fascists have the same modus operandi, so if you hear corporate media say something and the story is too good to be true, then assume it’s simply no true, especially during war.
She quoted someone who took part in a terrorist attack. I wonder if anyone will be arrested for quoting any of Israel’s “founding fathers”, or indeed anyone like Netanyahu or Ben-Gvir.
What in the world, why does Israel control what people say? So weird
Israel is the West’s last great colonial settler project so there has always been a predilection to turning a blind eye to international law in relation their geopolitical affairs. Far right authoritarians are often chummy with Netanyahu because he is living their colonial dream of genocide and displacement.
Why do they control what people say? I’m not sure it goes that far. But the cultural bias apparently runs deep enough in the West to ruin people’s lives over it if they dissent.
Why do they control what people say? I’m not sure it goes that far.
Pretty sure that’s the sole purpose of the Anti-Defamation League
You keep referring to “the West” like it’s a single monolithic entity.
Virtually is in this case. US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and many more countries literally defend Isreali’s right to starve children to death in front of our eyes. Violemtly and vehemently. All of the heavy hitters. Who in the west stands opposed? Maybe a tepid Spain? A few hundred years removed from relevance?

Canada, UK, France, Germany, and many more countries literally defend Isreali’s right to starve children
All of these countries have either publicly condemned Israel or outright banned arms sales to them.
Who in the west stands opposed?
Pretty much everyone except America. Why do you think this is just a “west” issue?
On this matter I’m afraid it has been for at least half a century. Some of the loudest and most self righteous voices when it comes to international law become tepid or mute on this particular violation of it.
Like Ireland, or Spain, or Canada?
Depends on the timeline you’re looking at. Some western countries have calibrated their stance in recent years particularly.
It’s actually one of the positives of social media. Even just five to ten years ago Western media acted as a shield against truth, helping to promote dogmatic support for Israel even as it committed genocide.
Canada doesn’t really belong on this list, it has been fairly clearly pro Israel throughout most of the 21st century and before that.
Ireland has a unique experience with settler colonialism so tends to have a more balanced take amongst Western countries. More of a specific exception than the rule though.
Spain is somewhere in between but also an exception.
When I say the West I do mean more generally the majority of or the power centers within. Which would be the British empire (which created this mess) and its successor the American empire (which allows it to continue).
I’d also draw a distinction between the West in general and the Global South which, having borne the historical brunt of Western colonial genocide, displacement and theft, has been pro Palestinian throughout most of this conflict and didn’t need social media to see the reality of the situation.
If you say it’s because Zionist Jews have money and wield it like a hammer you’re ‘antisemitic.’ But also correct.
Absolutely not. Zionists have a lot of money, but most of those Zionists are not in fact Jews. Western imperialists see their interests aligning with Israel, so they support it with money and influence; it’s really that simple. Thinking Israel controls the West is like thinking the hammer controls the carpenter because he doesn’t want it stolen.
Yep. It really puts into perspective when you see that most of the ideological Zionists in the world are evangelical Christians, waiting for the second coming of Jesus.
is supporting the defunct japanese red army terrorist group controlled by israel
daaaaang!
also this party girl need to tidy up her disco baggies - ooopsies
You can join the IDF to commit genocide (and call for people to do so in synagoges), but woe to anyone praising the resistance.
You can join the IDF, do war crimes, run for office in both major American political parties, and scream antisemitism if anyone suggests being a member of a foreign military implies duel loyalty.
But woe to anyone recounting historical events
She’s praising a terrorist attack against civilians. That’s not resistance, that’s terrorism. If you’re going to pretend to care human rights then it has to be universally applied otherwise you’re just a hypocrite.
The tweet that Rima was arrested for
Literally just a recounting of historical events.
Hassan has previously been questioned by police over similar allegations and has been under investigation since late 2023 for statements related to Hamas following the Oct. 7 attacks.
Sounds line the government is just harassing her
She added her own selected quote from Kozo Okamoto to the retweet: https://lemmy.world/comment/23021213
I think you’re fooling yourself with that “just recounting history”. If I tweet a Jordan Peterson quote next to a photo of him looking cool would you believe me if I said “oh I don’t support him, I’m just quoting events that happened”.
I’d like to see why Canada first okay’d her visa, then revoked it the day before she was to travel … because that kind of pull to do that comes from on high.

please don’t link to Nazi platforms!
“Something went wrong” can someone copy it please?
She retweeted this
Thanks!
Wow, Its a wonder she doesnt get the death penalty for such an egregiously hateful post /s
Only anti-Semites confuse anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism.
No. Only Zionists confuse the two.
Zionists deliberately confuse Zionists with Jews, putting Jews at risk. Deliberately putting Jews at risk is antisemitism. Zionists are antisemites.
The two aren’t exclusive. But not all antisemites are Zionists.
Zionists are a subset of antisemites.
the conspiracy fantasies adopted by most commies happily conflate israel with the jews that control the world like the top comment in this post:
why do israel control what people say
the fantasy being that by some magical control mechanism the french government and laws are affected by??
stop hiding and playing this shell game just say what you really think
and as we know this antisemitic global conspiracy fantasy was invented by russia during the cold war - the home of poisonous communism
AIPAC literally funds American electoral candidates. The Western empire has a lot of interest vested in Israel. This is why Israel can still function as a settler-colonial state. It’s not the evli “commies” plotting against anyone.
I love that we never get to see the tweet, click bait article
I looked, it was deleted so the news sites are only able to paraphrase.
The tweet that she retweeted is posted in this thread, but not whether she had added commentary of her own
deleted by creator
What was the actual comment she made?
Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European Parliament, was arrested on Thursday over a comment she posted on X last month about an attack on an Israeli airport in the 1970s, her fellow party member Jean-Luc Melenchon said.
The message was related to the 1972 attack by the Japanese Red Army far-left militant group at Lod airport in Tel Aviv, which resulted in 26 deaths.
It seems the media may not know what her exact comment was yet.
I mean, how many civilians are the IDF shooting in Gaza per day now? Especially with their new execution law?
Why are we supposed to get worked up about 26 deaths over 50 years ago given that context?
Why not both?
Why not both?
Because we can still stop tomorrow’s deaths in Gaza, technically.
The perpetrators are still effectively the same people who committed the crime.
The terrorists of 50 yo are likely already dead, the entire topology of their cause changed. It is pointless.
It is not about the number of death, it is about the apology of terrorism from a member of the European Parliament. When one disagrees with terrorisme doesn’t implies ones accept the genocide in Gaza
The entire EU parliament is straight up materially supporting a genocide but a retweet of resistance goes too far lol. What kind of moral standards do you think there are left?
jfc I’m getting so tired of news not including the critical information
She justified the terrorist attack in 1972 at an Israeli airport
From what I understand she retweeted this but I haven’t seen it confirmed by mainstream media yet
No doubt this stemmed from here https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/policing-thought-french-bill-renewed-forms-antisemitism-accused-silencing-israel-critics
Israeli people seen to have embedded themselves in almost every (large) countries politics. It’s also being noticed and will no doubt cause a massive push back.
Is this what happened in the lead up to WW2? Obviously without the existence of the state of Israel
No, the Jewish people did not exert nearly the same influence as Israel does today despite the propaganda of the time claiming otherwise.
Is there any way to verify that now? My understanding is that Zionists bankrolled the war to accelerate the creation of official state of Israel
To be frank this theory you are positing is absurd.
Did a disparate group of people connected by religion have the same influence as the entire modern state of Israel? Absolutely not.
You are the one linking it to an entire religion. Zionists have long predated Israel and have had significant power. That’s literally why Israel exists!
How is that your understanding? What information or sources did you base that on?
I’m out and about right now but I’m surprised you don’t know about the Haavara agreement and the ongoings of banks at the time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
Not the most fab sources but I’m travelling and have barely a bar of signal
Hell no they didn’t. Hitler and crew didn’t need any help massacring everything that moved, and they were backed by German moneyed interests (you know, the people that stood to gain from his rule), not a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. In the first place, WWII didn’t contribute nearly as much as you’d expect to the creation of Israel; if anything it made the British acquiesce to Palestinian demands to secure their support. WWII was the culmination of European great power politics; besides, interwar Poland was one of Zionists’ most important patrons, and its loss almost destroyed the whole project.
Zionists were at work well before WW2, which is where the Nazis were actively helping set up the beginnings of Israel
Zionists took the wealth of Jews in Germany and did not let them take it to Palestine. This funded efforts leading to and including WW2
Are you fucking sick in the head?
